A comparison of lingualized occlusion and monoplane occlusion in complete dentures

Effect of complete denture occlusal schemes on masticatory performance and maximum occlusal force

“…Evaluation of masticatory performance with the multiple sieve method A number of studies evaluated masticatory performance with multiple sieve method 9,12,22 The participant was placed in an upright position in the dental chair. Each participant was provided with 3 g of roasted peanuts and instructed to chew for 20 strokes by using his or her whole mouth.…”

“…Some studies compared 2 participant groups independently, with each group using only 1 occlusal scheme. 7,9,12,15,[20][21][22] Results of studies have shown different results for different study designs, which have led to controversy in the outcomes. 20,[23][24][25][26][27] Uncontrolled factors in previous studies include the intaglio surface of complete dentures and the altered vertical dimension with different denture bases.…”

The Development of Lingualized Occlusion

“…By 1980, the popularity of lingualized occlusion had grown considerably. As more lingualized occlusion articles appeared in the literature, many manufacturers offered new molds specifically designed for this occlusal concept …”

Personalised Dentures With Branching Technique

“…An anatomic maxillary posterior tooth (33-degree cuspid tooth) that occludes in a lingualized fashion into the central fossae of the lower is chosen. 11,14 The esthetics is far superior to flat plane and other lesser degree teeth. The beautiful maxillary buccal cusps look natural.…”

“…13 With fully edentulous cases, the lingualized occlusion recommended by Turbyfill seems to provide the most successful results. 14 Lingualized occlusion involves the use of more highly angled or 'sharper' denture teeth on the maxillary denture, against lower angled or more shallow anatomy on the mandibular denture. An anatomic maxillary posterior tooth (33-degree cuspid tooth) that occludes in a lingualized fashion into the central fossae of the lower is chosen.…”
